Anyone got a good take on the dynamics here? Pro Israelis call in Armenian reinforcements?

Curious how they all have the exact same model of tent.

"Hey guys, I'm at Walmart. They've got cheap tents. Anyone want me to grab one for them?"

I've done that at the REI yard sale table, and I haven't even planned an occupation yet.

Imagine putting on your galaxy brain helmet to tweet “what you don’t realize is that protests primarily hope to put pressure on those elected officials capable of feeling pressured by the protests.”

Define professional protestor. I am what one would call a townie. If I went up to UNC to join the encampment because I agreed with the students, I'd get thrown off campus for not being a student, but I wouldn't be there because someone paid me. I'm not a professional. I'm just a non-student joining the cause.

Of course, I could go stand here, just across the street from campus, all I want and protest. I doubt the Town would allow a tent, but I can stay there as long as I want and take breaks for food and sleep.

For the record, I am posting from campus right now.

I haven't been beat up by a cop yet, so I figure there's nothing else here that's going to hurt me.

I think the rules are if B gets doxxed, we owe him a kegger. Who's on standby to set up the GoFundMe?

It is kinda funny they aren’t protesting the utterly obscene amount of money it costs to attend college in the US.


But maybe they’ll get around to it.

They left out “after a Jewish girl was beat unconscious earlier in the day” , but this is obvious result and exactly what the encampment people wanted.. to trigger retaliatory violence to justify their violence and these dumb fuck pro-Israeli protestors fell right into that trap. Just like the war in Gaza. Everyone there on both side of the fight should be in jail for the next 72 hours and every student on campus that day should sue the ever loving shit out of the university.

Rubber bullets. Worse when actual bullets in loads of ways.
